A songbird mix that contains corn, whole and shelled peanuts, black oil sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds will be most attractive to jays, cardinals, woodpeckers and other large songbirds. Other mixes can be blended from smaller seeds (millet, safflower, etc.) for finches and small songbirds. Many birders will create their own seed blends based on their budget and the birds that frequent their backyard.
